74 THE ARTISAN The Library Books have often been spoken of as companions of our leisure hours. If a book is to be a companion, it must be of interest and pleasure to the readers. The library at Mcliinley is a place where the students enjoy to read. On its shelves can be found books dealing with all the common problems of modern industry. Many are illustrative of the various trades which the school offers. This type of book is written to be of practical use to the reader in his work. lf a problem ,arises in the shop and the class differs in opinion, some one may be assigned to go to the library to obtain information on the subject. There are also many books on the industrial and political developnient of the United States. These references are of great help in the study of economies. The English Classics are well represented and any of the required high school hooks' can be found in this section. Technical books can be found listed under the headings of science, mathematics and drawing. We have all learned the importance of using time to some good purpose and the library has proven itself of great help by having books of fiction of only the highest type. The students have shown much interest in these books and as a result many good reading habits have been established. In seleetingfthe content of the library care has been shown to produce a collection of books of wide range of material. Each book is Bled in a. section according to the trade or technical subject with which it deals. Therefore a book is easily found. To be sure, the library is not the largest nor is it the best equipped in book- cases. The students of the McKinley Vocational School have enjoyed the priv- ilege of reading many good books and without a doubt many have made silent companions of books.
